COVID -19 Plan at Applause Children’s Theater

Please read ACT’s COVID plan that we have gone to much length to put into place to keep our staff and young actors safe. If for any reason you feel your child may not be able to follow, or you are uncomfortable with the guidelines please speak to one of our staff members or consider not signing your child up at this time. Thank you.

Please Note: As a Board here at ACT we are in close contact with the County Heath and our State and these guidelines might change often. We will keep everyone up to date.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE AT CAMP

Refund Policy: Because of COVID-19 our refund policy has changed.

Parents may cancel any session by the Monday before that session to receive a full refund. Please allow 5-14 business days for your refund to be processed. Cancellations made after that time will be refunded at only 50%
If camps are cancelled due to the County Health guidelines status changing which causes a shutdown of ACT, causing classes to not be able to operate safely, parents will be fully refunded for their cancelled camp.

CAMP DAY
ACT’s camps will adhere to the following:

Physical Distancing during camp: ACT is committed to maintaining student- student and student-staff physical distancing as much as possible during the course of daily camp activities. Our camp sizes are small, 11 campers per session. There may always be sometimes when complete physical distancing is not possible and, in this situation, both staff and camper will wear a mask. The ACT studio has been set up with individual social distancing zones for each camper to use for their dancing area and acting area. Hula Hoops will also be used to create social distanced zones.

Hygiene: Staff will be disinfecting the studio before and after class and during breaks will be wiping down door knobs and other areas of constant use. Students and staff will be asked to wash hands before and after snack break.

Please do NOT send your child to camp if they are sick or exhibiting any of the symptoms of COVID-19:

Cough
Fever
Shortness of breath of difficulty breathing Chills
Repeated shaking with chills
Muscle pain
Headache
Sore throat
New loss of taste or smell

OR if your child or a member of your family have been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19 or live in or have recently traveled from an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19

In the event of a case of illness or suspected illness while at camp: any campers of staff exhibiting symptoms will immediately be required to wear a face covering and will be required to wait in an isolation area until they can be transported home as soon as possible. In the case of serious illness, parent/caregiver AND 911 will be called immediately. Any sick camper or staff will be asked not to return to camp.

In the case of a positive COVID-19 test within our camp group, ACT will notify local health officials, staff, and all families immediately (while maintaining confidentiality as required by state and federal laws) and the remainder of camp will be cancelled.

Covid-19 at Camp: ACT has worked to minimize the risk of COVID-19 exposure during camp. However, it’s important that both campers, parents/guardians, staff, and friends realize that we cannot guarantee that there will be no exposure to COVID-19 while at camp; we’re screening campers and staff, cleaning more, and implementing social distance zones to make sure the risk is as low as possible, but there’s always a chance of exposure.
